(NOV 2) On Monday night, in Izegem, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium, there were two female bouts on the card.  In one bout, Delfine Persoon was featured in a scheduled eight-round bout.  Persoon, 128½, fought Beatriz Aguilar, 133½, defeating Aguilar with a RTD after the fourth round.  Aguilar, the WIBA World lightweight champion failed to return to the ring in the fifth round.   

"Finally an opponent that allows it to box," Persoon said after the camp. "We had thought that in advance. Mexicans are honor, sensitive and fighter with heart.  They go for it and don't want to hold each other constantly. They are going to make the camp, we expected that too."

"And that makes it beautiful: that you have a real fight of both sides. And one of them then of course gets heavy blows. Fortunately, that was positive for me." Persoon smiled after her convincing victory and also hopes for a world title fight again: "For the European title I am the challenger, but I hope for another chance for the world title, " added Persoon.  Persoon is now 46-3-0 (19KO), and Aguilar is 7-6-1 (1KO). 

In a second female bout that was on the card, a flyweight competition between Amy Naert, 109 vs. Rachida Djaziri, 104¼, scheduled for six rounds.  Naert remained undefeated as a professional when she won by a unanimous decision over Djaziri.  Final judges scores were 60-52 on all cards.  Naert improved her record to 5-0-0 (1KO), and Djarir is now 1-1-0 (0KO).
